KNOCKOUT PUNCH OF THE DAY
MSU has played the roll of a dog very well all season going 5-1 ATS as a dog of 9.5 points or less. Meanwhile, UNC is a pathetic 1-4 ATS as a 7.5-9.5 point fave this year. I love catching MSU in a revenge spot too as they are looking to avenge December's 35 point pounding. Forget about the scoreboard in that meeting because the one thing that stands out is the fact that MSU battled UNC well on the boards. However, it was their worst shooting performance of the season that translated to blowout loss on the scoreboard. I also believe the team who is more battle tested is the team best prepared to handle the heat on the big stage - that team is MSU!! UNC has cruised through this tourney but they didn't play the toughest competition. Meanwhile, MSU played one of the toughest roads to get here - when you beat a hot USC team, a very good Kansas team and B2B Big East teams to get here then you deserve the National Title. Add on the unusual situation involving home court advantage and you have the making of an upset!! I love Michigan State tonight!! Now, with that being said I am taking the OVER AS MY KNOCKOUT PUNCH OF THE DAY!! Why you might ask? Simple!! Every scenario I run including lop-sided wins, close games, and even OT games - it all points to the OVER!! I HAVE THIS NUMBER COMING IN AT 164-167 SO I CAN'T IGNORE THE VALUE!!
MY PREDICTION: MICHIGAN STATE 86 NORTH CAROLINA 81
